Thomes swings look terrible

1 more of those and Thome is gawn.

Santana walks Paulie.

 

Too bad we don't have Hall for this game. Although DJ has a good point about the lefties, Mariano Rivera's opponents against the cutter, etc.

 

Thome just struck out, ump didn't call it.

I hate what Johan does to us, but he is just fun to watch confuse the opposition.

Yeah he doesn't call that side of the plate.

Tight zone.

Ump must have respect for Thome's eye.

Scott Kazmir so far, 2.1 IP, 7 K.

 

2.2 IP, 8 K

Yeah he doesn't call that side of the plate.

 

20 pitches per inning will work, unfortunately their pen hasn't been much easier...although anything is pretty much easier than Johan, with the exception of Nathan or Reyes last year.

WTF!

a basehit by JD right here would be fantastic

Let's go, YerMainGuy.

I like where this is going.

It's awesome we're making him work this much.

 

Kazmir is human, induces a popout. 3 IP, 8 K, H (Vernon Wells HR)

 

Nasty.

 

He gone. Admirable run at scoring a run right there.

Low and Away.

I can honestly say Im not a big fan of that.

Wow, DJ and Hawk we're completely correct on that last AB by Dye. When you watch the best pitch to swing at, you might as well sit down vs Johan.

At least we're making him work. We'll see if Anderson, our catcher or Uribe can be as disciplined...I'm not counting on it.

 

24 pitches.

Two walks from Johan in one inning? *gasp*

JD Version April 2005?

 

Well, those who weren't willing to give him $45 million for 3 years are being validated so far.

We've seen this over and over each season. You have no chance at hitting a change. If they ever get ahead in the count against Santana, all you can do is sit dead-red. Can't be taking too many fastballs from him.

Anderson isn't playing today(or ever apparently).

 

Low and away, why doesn't every pitcher in baseball know that is all you have to do to get our guys out.

I'm watching the Twin's broadcast and they were talking about Johan against the O's and saying they did a good job hitting first pitch fastballs. Well the Sox have gotten first pitch fastballs and they're looking.

At least we're making him work. We'll see if Anderson, our catcher or Uribe can be as disciplined...I'm not counting on it.

 

24 pitches.

 

Anderson doesn't play for us.

 

Johnny, you can't be going 2-0, 2-1 on everyone.

Danks likes 2-0 counts.
